243: Chapter 93 The Shocking Case [Third Update]_3 243: Chapter 93 The Shocking Case [Third Update]_3 Li Ping’an: …
He really had a narrow vision.
He had never thought of knocking out a Heavenly Immortal from Yongchu City and capturing them before.
Grandma Linghua brought Li Ping’an and Daoist Zisang directly back to Yongchu City.
By the time they brought the beautiful Demon Race woman back to their lodging, the place was already bustling with activity.
Seven highly respected Daoists were lying unconscious on the ground.
Old Tianli sat under a tree with bold and unconstrained airs, holding a cup of hot tea and leisurely savoring it.
Qing Su held the Xingyin Sword at the entrance, while another Heavenly Immortal, Wen Rou, stood beside Old Tianli with a smile, holding a purple clay teapot in her hand.
Grandma Linghua took a seat next to Old Tianli and sighed, “This black mink is the Demon Race’s liaison.
That Ge really did conspire with the Demon creatures.”
The porcelain cup in Old Tianli’s hand was instantly crushed.
His eyes narrowed, and his vermilion robe blazed like a raging fire.
Wen Rou hurriedly said, “Dad, your officers aren’t here.”
“I was too angry as well.”
Old Tianli looked around:
“Where’s that kid Ping’an?
Let him come out; it’s time to use his cleverness.”
Daoist Zisang flicked his sleeve, and Li Ping’an sheepishly hopped out, removing his transformation spell.
Without wasting words, he pointed directly to the pair of True Immortal Daoist companions:
“Let’s start with them.”
Qing Su formed a hand seal, and both awoke simultaneously.
They looked left and right, saw the four highly respected Heavenly Immortals unconscious beside them, their Elder Ge lying on the ground…
The oppressive aura of two Great Golden Immortals weighed down on the Daoist companions!
Li Ping’an called out softly:
“Vice Alliance Hierarch Old Tianli is here!
“Your actions have been made known to the Vice Alliance Hierarch.
Will you confess yourselves, or shall the senior search your Primordial Spirits!”
The two turned pale, the male cultivator as if his soul had fled, the female as if her spirit had been lost.
But they both just clenched their teeth and kept their heads down, saying nothing.
Li Ping’an didn’t wish to entangle with these two ‘pawns,’ and he transmitted his voice to Qing Su, “Master, awaken this True Immortal Ge, wrap those two in a barrier, and don’t let them hear anything from outside.”
Qing Su did as instructed.
True Immortal Ge opened his eyes to the scene before him, and without needing Li Ping’an to introduce him, he had already recognized Old Tianli.
“You, how are you here!”
Just as True Immortal Ge was about to rise, his legs went soft, and he plopped down on his knees, his whole body trembling slightly.
Standing beside him, Li Ping’an said, “Commander Ge, why don’t you take a look at what kind of Demon creature is next to you?”
True Immortal Ge turned his head and saw the black mink beauty, his eyes widening instantly, his forehead drenched in cold sweat, as if his soul was escaping.
“It’s a misunderstanding; this Demon creature set me up!
“I have never betrayed the Alliance!
Please, Vice Alliance Hierarch, see the truth!
Li Ping’an looked towards his master.
After a year of working together, the master and disciple had developed a good understanding of each other.
With a light gesture from Qing Su, True Immortal Ge’s figure slowly collapsed; with his Dao heart in disarray, he was sealed again without any resistance.
Qing Su then removed the immortal power barrier from around the Daoist companions.
Li Ping’an suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the two, “Did you hear what Commander Ge just said?”
The two were stupefied.
Hadn’t they been sealed off by an immortal power barrier just now…
Li Ping’an said, “Commander Ge said it was the two of you who colluded with the Demon Race, sent them many Elixirs, Spirit Stones, and Precious Materials for riches offered by the Demon Race.
He only refrained from exposing you because you shared the same master.”
The male cultivator’s voice trembled, “This!
The oppressive aura of the Golden Immortal grew even stronger.
“Now that things have come to this, brother, why still protect that scoundrel of a master!”
The female cultivator cried out sobbingly:
“Please see the truth, Vice Alliance Hierarch; both my fellow Daoist and I were forced by Commander Ge into this affair.
For decades, we have lived in fear, our Dao hearts troubled, and our cultivation almost destroyed!”
“Very well,” Li Ping’an raised his hand slightly, and Qing Su directly sealed the male cultivator with immortal power, tossing him aside.
Li Ping’an approached the female cultivator, holding a Treasure Bead in hand, his voice cold:
“Just tell everything, and I will plead for you.
The female cultivator closed her eyes, waiting, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Li Ping’an’s voice softened considerably, “What did the Demon Race give you in return for the many treasures you sent them?”
Weren’t you following a trail from the south?”
The female cultivator opened her eyes, perplexity in her gaze.
Li Ping’an said nothing more, reaching into his sleeve to pull out a storage bag and spilling its contents, revealing the heads of dozens of great demons, emitting a strong demonic aura.
Li Ping’an indifferently said, “I just happened to exterminate those demons you were working with, who happened to have such excessive riches in their lair.”
He grinned fiercely, showing his white teeth:
“Tell me, what exactly did you buy from them?”
The female cultivator’s form swayed as though she might fall but bit down on her teeth.
Li Ping’an’s hand revealed a small seal, which he tossed up casually.
The seal instantly grew to several meters tall, falling towards the male cultivator above!
“We bought human sacrifices from the Demon Race!”
The great seal turned into a streak of light and returned to Li Ping’an’s sleeve; he immediately crushed the Treasure Bead in his hand.
Silence fell within the courtyard.
